Richard, commonly called Rick, spent over 45+ years working for Ford. He found his most fulfilling moments in life mentoring many people to learn the trade of mechanics. Rick is also well known for having a brilliant mind that could solve almost any problem. Rick found joy in relaxing drives on his Harleys, being with his daughters and grandchildren, and educating younger generations on various categories. He never once turned his back on a person eager to learn. He took the most pride in life by raising his daughters, grandchildren, and by being a great husband to his wife, Donna. Everything Rick did was to better everyone around him in his life.

Richard was a great mentor, friend, and father figure to many people.
